The fact that this photo was taken just moments later and a few hundred meters from the site of the previous Venice picture posted here is a testament to the infinite variety and rich contrasts that La Serenissima is heir(ess) to. Riva degli Schiavoni (Quay of the Slavs, appropriately enough). In the right of frame, the lagoon continues to rise as Venice settles majestically into the Adriatic whose bride she has long been down these damp, corrosive centuries.

Still sinking.
